Mattie's Unspoken Vow Margo Hansen

I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mattie Morrison never heard the words that bound her to her unknown rescuer. She awoke to learn that an irate preacher had done what he felt was his duty and married her off to some stranger. She does not learn the identity of her husband until she runs into him in Sand Creek where she is employed in the bank. Even though Mattie recognizes Abel Newly, he has no idea that Mattie is the bride he was tricked into marrying. He disregards the whole ceremony as a hoax performed by a lunatic and eagerly sets up his medical practice with his old friend in Sand Creek. Soon, if all goes well, he will marry Delphinia Digby from Boston and his life will be complete. And it can't be soon enough. The townspeople are a little unsure about having an unmarried doctor tend to their womenfolk. On more than one occasion Abel calls upon Mattie to lend a hand at the doctor's office. But what is it about her that seems so familiar? Margo Hansen's fifth book, Mattie's Unspoken Vow, completes her series about the Newly family and sets the stage once again for romance, mystery, and adventure in the north. As Mattie and Abel come face to face with town strife and an outlaw gang intent on robbing the bank and finally with each other, they learn that God's ways are not always their ways, but he ultimately knows best.
